Greetings neighbors, this is the Miami Corona Project Daily Update for Thursday, April 30th, 2020:

As of yesterday, there have been 11,927 positive cases of coronavirus across the county, with 1,445 hospitalizations and a total of 338 deaths–fourteen more than yesterday.  

Tracking the trends of known coronavirus cases and deaths is a critical factor in understanding whether we are “flattening the curve” of new infections. 

In Florida, known cases are doubling every 27.3 days.  In Miami, every 29.8 days.  A “doubling rate” is how long it will take for the current number of cases to double by examining the rate of growth over the last seven days.

Across the United States, the national total of positive cases is now 1,036,652, the total number of dead has risen to 60,475.

Let’s hope today brings better news.  I’ll update you tomorrow.
